The Hypocrisy Of People That Cry Over A Bitter Truth

For sometime now, we have seen many men and women who are in love with the political system in Nigeria, say that the only reason they hate and don't support IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is because of insults. 'IPOB is insulting our elders, governors, and Senators,' they would always say, while pontificating as if they care about the people.

IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been consistent in demanding justice for Biafrans. They have asked for a stop in the massacring of Christians and Biafrans in Nigeria by the Fulani herdsmen. However, instead of Nigeria government to do something about this, they resorted in killing more IPOB members and imprisoning them. The worse is that the leaders in Biafra Land are in cohort with the Fulani, in the killing of their fellow Biafrans.

Fulani Herdsmen keep killing people across Biafra Land and beyond. In Ugwuta, the Fulani herdsmen cut down an old man of about 70 years. In Anambra, they cut a lady into pieces and had her body littered in the bush. It is such a horrible sight to behold. Also in the same Anambra, precisely at Ihiala, they attacked a house, stole money, beat the family and kidnapped their 22 year old daughter. In Enugu, a handful of villagers have been killed, including a seminarian and a Catholic priest. All killed by Fulani herdsmen. Our people can no more go to their farms without fearing for their lives. In some places, at Anioma in Delta State, it is making the rounds that the residents pay the Fulani herdsmen before they can go to their farms to cultivate, else they will face attacks and death.

All the people shouting about insults are not worried that we are now slaves of the Fulani in our own land. They are not worried that Fulani herdsmen come from the North, kidnap our women, rape and cut them into pieces. What worries these men and women is the purported insults they receive from IPOB.

Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano proudly stated that Miyetti Allah is part of his government. He said that any Igbo man killed by Fulani Herdsmen, will attract 500,000 Naira as a fine. That is what a life of an Igbo is worth for him. A means to make more money.  The Fulani herdsmen he proudly admitted into his government are regarded worldwide as the 4th deadliest terror organisation. It is this same Obiano that read out the proscription of IPOB on behalf of South East governors forum. IPOB is a peaceful movement that only uses peaceful protest to demand for referendum. But Governors of South East want an IPOB member killed and jailed, but Fulani herdsmen terrorists they allowed and incorporated as part and parcel of their government. Same people killing their own people.

John Nnia Nwodo who despises IPOB and even accused IPOB of bombing his residence, also told entire ndị Igbo to rather kill him than attack the Fulani herdsmen killing them. None of them cares for the people.

The entire political elites in South East and South South have been all silent as Fulani herdsmen run riot in our regions. Till today, no single Fulani Herdman has been arrested in the entire South East. But they keep going around seeking for IPOB members and arresting them from their homes and shops.

In all these, what worries some people is those calling out others slaving for terrorists and killing their own people. Can you now see how hypocritical you all are? Who will respect an elder who despises his own, but welcomes, employ and adores terrorists killing their own people? Do you now see why I call all of them hypocrites?

Believe me when I say it. They are just using a weak excuse of being insulted to ignore the truth in what IPOB is saying. They don't want a change for good for their people because of what they are gaining from the rot that is one Nigeria. These set of people are simply 'men of the stomach' who cares only about themselves. We must beware of them.
